I hope it's the same tree for this merge window. In the future, I hope the semantics of the various branches of the new tree either stays the same, or comes with a detailed description of what branch means what (assuming there is a new tree at some point). josh ___ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev

I've setup a tree on kernel.org yes, but there's nothing useful in it yet (it has 3 branches, master, merge and next, but they are currently pointing to the exact same spot as Paul's). I've started collecting things yesterday and sending comments, I'll push some new stuff out today or tomorrow. Mostly been training with git and patchwork so far :-) Ben. ___ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
